Good ukulele - after setup

There are some minor imperfections in coating and had to be completely setup. Bridge and saddle were definetly too high.

But in the end it's a great, cheap uke. Holds tune well and with better strings sounds great.

A solid Ukulele to try out.

As a beginner and for trying out if the Ukulele suits one as an instrument this is an awesome instrument to begin with. It has its flaws here and there but basically this a very good value.

A really good point this product makes is the Price, which is very low and affordable. This makes a strong point to beginners and People who just want to try out the instrument.

You see is what you get, so this is not the most awesome Quality one would get out of a Ukulele.

The paint job is sturdy yet not really that nice.

The Uke itself goes out of tune pretty fast even after a lot of time.

The sound itself might be best described with: "a bunch of strings attached to wood." Yet again this is not the product one buys for the quality of sound. (Duh!)

All in all this is a solid piece of gear. I especially recommend this one to all new beginners trying to see if this is an instrument for oneself. But you'll come to the conclusion that one will get a new proper Uke pretty soon if one wants to continue playing this instrument.

To be noted: This is a pretty small instrument especially with big hand this might not be your instrument.

Great!

I bought this ukulele to just play around with it at home. The paint does come off it when accidentally hit against a corner or an edge. It stays in tune pretty well too. Don't really recommend for performances but works well at home to practice!

Good for beginners

This Uke is great for a beginner or maybe a child, but if I am ever going to play the uke for real, I would buy a new one.

Awesome Uke!? But the strings are not quite good. But...when you change the strings it will sounds amazing!

Great for my 11 month boy

Nothing much to say about this cheap uke but good for small kids to beat it up and get that first feel of an instrument. Would I seriously play this? Nope. Good for kids to play with it.

The perfect start.

I bought a small number of these Ukuleles for teaching children at school. Many children wish to learn guitar first but thankfully after trying out these Uks, the children experienced a level of success and accomplishment very quickly and therefore stick at the instrument. I know that it would take so much longer to achieve that competent feeling if it was guitar they were starting with.

The main pro with this well priced item is that it stays in tune! So many other Uks of same price or hire that I have come across in other shops just cant stay in tune or else they just cant take a chord with terrible intonation.

Highly recommend.

My 2 year old son have been playing with this one for a year know. It holds up just fine. And I tune it now and then and everything seems to work. For the price paid you can't go wrong. But for a proper instrument you should consider something more expensive.
